It is different from Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian's sad laughter in a wine shop.
Lu Bu, who was at the border of Yanzhou, frowned tightly. He had a sullen face. Facing the Red Rabbit Horse in front of him, the defeated army behind him, and his concubine Diao Chan who was always guarding him, he remained silent.
As Cao Cao conquered Puyang City, the living space of Lu Bu's forces was greatly squeezed...
When you open the map and look at it, you can see that all the powerful people in the surrounding areas, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu, have all defected to them and offended them...
Although the Han Dynasty had a large territory.
But all the princes are either with Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu? Where can Lu Bu go?
Apart from the people above, the only ones who can defect to Yizhou now are Liu Yan and the newly promoted Lord of Xuzhou - Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!
"Lord, in my opinion, given the current situation, we can only go to Xuzhou and join Liu Bei first." Chen Gong thought about it for a long time and then reminded him.
Huh... Lu Bu exhaled a long breath.
He wanted to defect to Liu Bei, but because of his reputation? Will Liu Bei, who claims to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, accept his surrender?
When it comes to showing off, Lu Bu has a criminal record.
Ding Yuan was kind to him, and he could take Ding Yuan's head in the blink of an eye for a horse;
Dong Zhuo treated him like a father and son, but he killed Dong Zhuo because of a woman.
Will Liu Bei accept him? Will he have any concerns? Lu Bu is not sure.
"Lord, don't think too much. Liu Bei will definitely accept the general and will reuse him." Chen Gong seemed to see through Lu Bu's thoughts at once...
He stood with his hands behind his back and murmured four words: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold..."
Um...the lips are dead and the teeth are cold?
That's it, Lu Bu nodded.
Chen Gong was right. Liu Bei had conquered Xuzhou under Cao Cao's nose. He must have been scared to death for fear that Cao Cao would send troops to attack him. If Lu Bu defected to him, Liu Bei would have more confidence to face Cao Cao.
"Best greetings, military advisor!" Lü Bu murmured, and immediately called his confidants and hurriedly gave instructions. "Hurry up and send a message to Duke Xuande in Xiapi City, saying that I, Lü Bu, have admired you for a long time and want to lead your army to defect!"
As he spoke, Lu Bu's voice seemed to have no confidence.
No wonder…
If he really defected to Xuzhou, then Lu Bu would be completely dependent on others. Lu Bu didn't want to live in this kind of life where people were fighting for each other, but he was forced by the situation and had no choice!
As if sensing Lu Bu's concerns, Chen Gong walked slowly behind Lu Bu and spoke in a low voice.
"General, the situation in Xuzhou is not clear now. I heard that Liu Bei also secretly united with Xuzhou's celebrity faction and common people faction to seek Xuzhou. The Danyang faction that holds military power is not convinced. If the general can unite with the Danyang faction, who will win in Xuzhou?
, it’s still unknown!”
Speaking of this, Chen Gong sighed. "Cao Cao is a formidable opponent, but Liu Bei seems to be weaker. Xuzhou may not be unable to scheme!"
Well... Lu Bu raised his brows and trembled. "Good advice, sir..."
Chen Gong's words touched his heart.
Da da…
The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually sounded, and Lu Bu led thousands of remaining soldiers to set off immediately and rushed to Xuzhou.
Just as Yi Xiaotian predicted, Lu Bu and Chen Gong really defected to Liu Bei. They were clearly coveting the body of "Xuzhou City"!
Xuzhou City, the big granary, the big dye vat, the situation here is getting more and more complicated.
…
…
Chenliu County, Yamen Office.
"Mengde, Mengde..."
The sound of hurried footsteps resounded. On an originally peaceful night, the government office in Chenliu County seemed extremely busy and noisy.
Xun Yu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yue Jin, and a host of civil servants and generals rushed over. It seemed that they had something important to do.
"What's the matter?" Cao Cao didn't spare any detours and got straight to the point...
"oops…"
But Xiahou Dun complained and then shouted.
"It's not good, it's not good, Lu Bu's fellow actually led his army to Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Liu Bei not only accepted him, but also personally went to Lu Bu's army to express condolences, and even... gave Xiaopei to him!"
There were beads of sweat on Xiahou Dun's forehead...
What the heck is this? Seeing that the people of Xuzhou have surrendered and half of the land has completely surrendered, they are just on the verge of conquering the whole of Xuzhou in one go. But at this point, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei. That's all...
However, Lu Bu also went to join Liu Bei. Now, the two of them joined forces, one garrisoned Xiapi City and the other garrisoned Xiaopei. The two sides were at odds with each other. How could they attack Xuzhou City?
When he thought of this, Xiahou Dun felt worried, so worried that his hair grew a little gray.
"Brother..."
Cao Hong couldn't help but speak.
"I heard the news from Xizuo that Liu Bei went to Lu Bu's military tent to express condolences. Lu Bu admired him extremely. He also said that they were both from the border areas, fellow villagers, and brothers. They should work together and work together. He also arranged for Liu Bei to sit on his
On the embroidered bed in the big tent, he even called his wives and concubines to bow to Liu Bei!"
I go…
Cao Cao was startled. He didn't expect that Lu Bu would go so far as to get closer to Liu Bei. The embroidery bed in the big tent? Isn't that the place where Lu Bu and his wife were embarrassed? And... he even asked his wives and concubines to come out to salute.
?
How is this a salute?
This is obviously disrespectful!
It seems that in order to ask Liu Bei to accept him, Lu Bu also lowered his noble head and fought for his own wives and concubines...
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but shook his head.
But at this moment...
"Report..." A messenger came over quickly. "My lord, there is news from Yuan Shao in Jizhou, advising my lord to settle the matter in Xuzhou after a battle and not to start a big war..."
Boom...can't make a big move?
Is Yuan Shao trying to protect Liu Bei?
As soon as this report appeared...
All the civil servants and generals in the government office were confused. Why did Yuan Shao get involved in Xuzhou's affairs? Xuzhou's new involvement in Liu Bei and Lu Bu was already a mess. Now Yuan Shao also wanted to get involved, but this time he got involved.
, pushed Cao Cao into an extremely disadvantageous situation?
Now? When will the entire territory of Xuzhou be captured? It’s a long time coming!
All of a sudden, everyone looked sad.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was slightly surprised at first, but soon he recovered from his surprise.
He found that it seemed that all the information about Xuzhou City had been mentioned by Yi Xiaotian.
Tao Qian surrendered Xuzhou three times, Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, Lu Bu defected to Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao supported Liu Bei. One by one, Yi Xiaotian's prediction was accurate.
Since you have already known it in advance and decided on a response strategy? It seems that there is no need to make a fuss.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was not surprised but happy, and then laughed out loud "Hahaha".
Now, everyone was confused...
What's going on?
Shouldn't we be worried at this time? Isn't it right to be worried? Just smile like a hammer? Could it be that just a smile can turn the situation in Xuzhou around?
Cao Cao was still smiling, but the more he laughed heartily, the more inexplicably the others felt like crying...
Finally, the long laughter finally ended...
Cao Cao has a beard.
"Three concessions were made to Xuzhou, Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, Lu Bu defected to Liu Bei, Yuan Shao helped Liu Bei... Hahaha, the water in Xuzhou is getting muddier, isn't this good!"
Ah...very good.
Now everyone feels even more confused...
Xiahou Dun scratched his head and asked anxiously, "What about Meng De? Should we fight against Xuzhou?"
"Fight? Why fight?" Cao Cao smiled cheerfully and said as he laughed. "They all say good neighborliness, Liu Bei is our good neighbor, Lu Bu is also our good neighbor, such good neighbors, fight and kill.
It's so boring, it should be turned into friendship!"
At this point, Cao Cao paused for a moment before continuing to speak.
"Send the order and all the soldiers and horses stationed in the eastern border of Xuzhou will withdraw to the western border. Only if we are no longer afraid will the eastern border of Xuzhou become lively, right?"
This? What and what?
All the warriors couldn't figure out why. According to Cao Cao's intention?
Don’t you want to seize the eastern territory of Xuzhou? Then the people’s support accumulated in the past and the Xuzhou aristocratic families who finally united have been wasted...
Suddenly, the eyes of all the warriors showed an unbelievable light, and then looked at Cao Cao, as if to say: Are you kidding me?
Only Xun Yu put his chin in one hand and thought for a moment...
Immediately he nodded, his eyes slowly opened, and a cold light suddenly appeared in them.
